Syria asks IDF to hold fire as it battles rebels - Jerusalem Post
2013-06-18
[June 9th]
The Syrian regime asked Israel not to fire on its tanks in the Golan Heights buffer zone between the two countries during Thursday's internecine fighting in the area, according to a report apparently by the United Nations peacekeeping troops on the Golan.

The Syrian armed forces were battling opposition troops who had briefly seized control of the Syrian side of the Quneitra border crossing between Israel and Syria.
Professional courtesy
Per the Pournelle Doctrine, the Israelis should just blow up every other Syrian tank...

#7  I'm not worried - the Israelis will be careful, + iff Syria has malicious or hostile intentions the IDF has more than enough firepower + capability to deal wid it.

IMO what Tel Aviv is truly worried about is that widout Syrian preference for isolationism Israel + IDF will no longer be able to concentrate or focus on Egypt + the KSA, historically the two most MilPol aggressive Govts-States in the Arab League. THE THREAT OF A GENUINE, UNITED, SIMULTANEOUS MULTI-FRONT WAR, NOT HAPHAZARD, LOOMS FOR ISRAEL + IDF FOR THE FIRST TIME, + AT A TIME WHEN BOTH RADICAL ISLAM + THE ARAB-MUSLIM WORLD ARE INTERESTED IN PROCURING NUCLEAR WEAPONS PAR WID ISRAEL + US-WEST.

More impor, at a time when Israel may alleged have an alleged anti-Israeli POTUS in the US to support or cover its six.
